Supporting their party over our country

Columnist Jay Ambrose argues that Trump is doing better on the Russia issue than Obama ("Trump tops Obama on Russia," March 8) and then goes on to cite incredibly flimsy evidence.

This is what passes for rational, sensible and penetrating analysis from conservative supporters of Mr. Trump. It is bordering on complete lunacy and treason.

The Russians have effectively attacked the United States of America. The Pentagon and every intelligence agency in this nation has stated this as fact. These same agencies report that the Russians have plans to do more of the same.

Russia has crippled this nation by helping to elect what is essentially a chaotic, crazy man. Intelligence experts now reveal the Russians have developed untraceable cyberweapons that could take down vast sectors of our electric grid and damage our nation in the extreme.

The Commander in Chief is doing nothing about these threats except to tweet his affection for the Russians and Mr. Putin.

Conservatives who support Ambrose and Trump are more interested in defending the Republican Party than they are in defending America. It is factionalism at its worst and these people are playing directly into the hands of an international mobster.
